About Us

History

Reading Film and Video Makers (RFVM) has a proud history. The group was founded in 1957 as the Reading Tape Recording and Cine Society in the days of audiotape, 35mm colour slides and 8mm cine film. Members migrated to videotape in the mid 80’s.

In the past 20 years computerised digital technology, YouTube and Vimeo, have revolutionised things. Members of RFVM now enjoy the most sophisticated, accessible and affordable filmmaking ever.

To enable, encourage and support those with a common interest in filmmaking to:
• Make films / videos
• Share knowledge
• Exchange ideas and experiences
• Improve skills and techniques
• Build friendships
• Have fun together and to inspire a love and understanding of film making

Our promise

To continue to adapt RFVM to meet the needs of club members in a rapidly changing world of multi-media and technology
